Publisher's Description
Many Voices is a must-read textbook for pastoral psychotherapists and pastoral counselors in clinical training as well as a guide for those in professional practice. In it Cooper-White harvests the great potential of postmodern sensibilities to help, accompany, and support individuals, couples, and families in recognizing and healing especially painful psychic wounds or longstanding patterns of self-defeating relationships to self and others. In Part 1 she shows how multiplicity and relationality provide a dynamic way of viewing human potential and pain. In Part 2 she unfolds the practical applications of this paradigm for a strongly empathic therapeutic relationship and process.

“ROOTED IN RELATIONAL PSYCHOANALYSIS, enriched by postmodern pluriformity, and reflecting profound theological acuity, Many Voices is a nuanced and carefully researched work that captures the most significant features of the kind of pastoral theology that is needed in the twenty-first century. Because it is firmly based in a relational anthropology and theology, the book manages to bring into creative and critical dialogue the deep roots of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy, evocative aesthetic theology, and spirituality and to weave them into a process that is therapeutic and enlivening, as the cases that illustrate the text clearly demonstrate. Pamela Cooper-White has provided pastoral care providers with another vital resource for the theory and practice of pastoral psychotherapy.”
